The farthest I’ve ever been was
and spit red, I tried all sorts of bark
to get that effect. Even tasted to
bacco once. But it burned like a coal
of fire and I didn’t try again. And
fortunately the delusion faded be
fore I mastered it.
I remember watching the men, as
they came from the field, wash their
hands there on the back porch. My,
how they could dirty up that water!
I wanted to do that too. But mine
wouldn’t ink it up like theirs would.
I remember wetting mine and going
out in the back yard and fixing ’em
in ashes and soot at the wash pot.
Then I could do like a man and real
ly airty that water up.
And smoking too, I tried that. First
it was cross-vine, and then rabbit

asked their own opinion of him.
Peter at once answered with what we
generally call the Great Confession.
Christians have been divided in
their interpretation of what Matthew
adds—that Jesus promised the king
dom unto Peter and, as some believe,
declared that he would build his
church upon Peter. But how could
Jesus have meant that he would
build his church upon one who could
so fail to understand his Lord’s mis
sion, and be addressed as Satan?
The plain meaning is that Jesus
meant the rock of Peter’s faith in
his Lord and all that that faith sig
nifies. Through the ages the church
has been sustained by the faith of
men and women who trust in Christ
alone for their salvation and who
commit themselves freely to his
kingdom.

on a cold day that we were hauling
a wagonload of turkeys to Colum
bia for Christmas. It was 20 miles
down there, and it took just about
a.l day each way, roads were so bad.
We stopped at Irmo on the way down
and got some cigarettes. We kept
the smoke a-flyin’ for that last 10,
miles. My tongue was almost blister- ,
ed that time too. But the worst part
of it was I couldn’t taste a thing I
ate. And my cousins in town had
act like a man. And soon I was one.

down there. But I did, two of ’em.
One of the trips we took while
down there was a two-day swing
with the joint Mexican-American
commission working on the con
trol of the black fly on citrus. Dr. A.
C. Baker is the top scientist from this
country that has been working on
that and similar problems down there
for years. And his right-hand as
sistant is J. F. Cooper.
I learned that Dr. Cooper, when a
teen-age boy, came to South Caro
lina from Canada prospecting for
gold. And he spent quite some time
in the vicinity of Pacolet, camping
out and panning for gold in the
streams of that vicinity. I asked him
if he got any. He said yes. Not
enough to get rich at, but enough
to pay his limited expenses with and
live. So there was a link with South
Carolina I hadn’t expected.
Now, can’t you imagine my amaze
ment when I found that this J. F. j
Cooper was the same little likeable!'
Jimmy Cooper that was raised at By REV - *O bert H - HARPER
Florence and who worked at Clem
son’? exenment station there for sev
eral yenns before he went south!
So for two delighted days we
went intr many a nook and comer
of that land of strange contrasts be
low the border with friends who
knew South Carolina well.
Soys In Calhoun
Was with County Agent Sain in
Calhoun the other day. He told me
their soybean acreage grew each
yetr. And it fits in mighty well with
their farming system too, he said.
They grow a lot of grain, and
make good grain too. Soybeans are
planted there then following grain,
thousands of acres of ’em. The beans
make a good money crop. And their
rich residue is left to turn under.
Cain says you can really tell on the
following crop where the soybeans
were '
The principal bean they plant now
is a rather new one developed by!
their plant breeder, J. E. Wannamak- j
er. It goes by the name of J. E. W.}
45. It was bred up from the Ark-
soy, I understand. It is larger than
the Clemson Non-Shatter bean that
Mr. Wannamaker put out some years
ago. And the new one is shatter-re
sistant too.
Two staple money crops and two
crop residues to turn under on land
ihe same year is really farming fast.
These soybeans are in good de
mand by the oil mills. Cain said a
half dozen mills bought crushing
beans there.
Grain Storage
With the state’s grain acreage dou
bled in recent years and the yield
up over fifty percent, we have tons
of grain where we used to have a
few bushels.
With the Clemson method being
applied to more and more of our
corn, the corn yield has almost dou- |
bled in the past 10 years.
Along with this increase in grain
end corn comes the need for stor
age
The little shirttails full of these
things we used to make could soon
be eaten up by livestock that then
had to largely root for a living. But
livestock, to be profitable, has to
eat pretty well the year around. We
use grazing more and more all year
through. But grain and corn are
needed a lot at places along to sup
plement and ifinish things off. And
we can’t do all of that at gathering
time. And in the crude storage that
most farms have, losses from rats
and insects are great on stored grains
a-cd corn.
Therefore, to accommodate our
growing grain and corn productions,
and to supply a growing livestock
and poultry business the year
through, we need safe storage for
these products. We need to store
them for regulated use there on the
farms. And we need a place to clean,
dry, and safely keep them for col
lateral and feed „them f into the mark
et as they are needed.
Just recently Florence had its of
ficial opening of their farmers’ co
operative grain storage facility. Corn
was a drug on the market at harvest
time. Then they started taking it in
safe storage there and the price im
mediately went up where it belong
ed. All Of this started over there, I
understand, when District Agent J.
T. Lazar and County Agent McLen
don called a group together in Ap
ril. A strong working committee was
appointed then. (It carried on and at
harvest time, they had their facil
ity.
Boys Are That Way
In a young boy’s eyes, a man is
about the greatest thing there is.
And men know this, for each of
them was once a boy.
Looks like that would make ’em
a little careful ^ibout the examples
they set. Specially so in the case of
daddies.
Tobacco chewing was common
among men when I was growing up.
I thought it looked big to chew it
two days, puffing it hard. That blis-
tered niy tongue and I quit. Ami cal , ed the multitud unt0 hi
my final flight was with cigarettes , irUV> thn
effects of Fannie Y. Blalock.
These are, therefore, to cite and
admonish all and singular the Kin
dred and Creditors of the said Fan
nie Y. Blalock, deceased, that they
be and appear before me, in the
Court of Probate, to be held at Lau
rens Court House, Laurens, S. C., on

tion hereof, at 2:00 o’clock in the

have, why the said Administration
should not be granted.

Literally, everything here is new but the

There’s a brand-new X-member frame that’s
brawny and rugged, and a weight saver in
the bargain.
There’s a brand-new chassis—but still with
the buoyant cradling of coil springs on all
four wheels, the solid keel of a torque-tube,
the soft steady going of Safety-Ride rims and
cushiony low-pressure tires.
There’s a brand-new’ body of spacious dimen
sions and a stunning interior richer than any-
